Post by: wonder on September 15, 2014, 02:24:24 PM: We did it last year and all we did was flip thru a binder and had a small talk with the MP's on what we should and shouldn't do on base. We also went out to the range and looked around. That place is huge and I have no idea where to hunt except over on the side near the river?

Never made it back over to hunt so we all donated our $10 to the military. I'd be interested in teaming up with someone that wants to go back over?

Post by: wonder on September 19, 2014, 08:34:32 AM: For those of you that have ventured out onto the range is there a problem with getting off the main roads and getting a lot of flats from the shrapnel?

We stayed on the main road last year when we scouted it and my buddy still got some long piece of metal in this tire which he attributed to bomb shrapnel.
